GUID you get something like aaaef973-d8ce-4c92-95b4-3635bb2d42d5

Is it always the same? Is it always going to have the following format

8 char “-“, 4 char “-“, 4 char “-“, 4 char “-“, 12 char

I’m asking because i need to convert a GUID without “-” to GUID with “-” and vice visa.

    No; there are other formats, such as the format you listed except with braces. There’s also more complex formats. Here are some of the formats MSDN lists:

    UUID formats

    • 32 digits: 00000000000000000000000000000000 (N)
    • 32 digits separated by hyphens: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 (D)
    • 32 digits separated by hyphens, enclosed in braces: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} (B)
    • 32 digits separated by hyphens, enclosed in parentheses: (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) (P)
    • Four hexadecimal values enclosed in braces, where the fourth value is a subset of eight hexadecimal values that is also enclosed in braces: {0x00000000,0x0000,0x0000,{0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00}} (X)
